·         Key Features & Benefits:

Ø  Boosts Photosynthesis: Acts as an essential cofactor for the oxygen-evolving complex in photosystem II and supports chlorophyll production.

Ø  Corrects Deficiencies: Rapidly treats interveinal chlorosis (yellowing between green veins on young leaves) and specific conditions like grey speck in wheat.

Ø  Improves Vigor: Enhances pollen germination, root cell elongation, and natural resistance to root pathogens.

·         Crops suitability:

AGRIVENTURE Chelated manganese (Mn-EDTA) fertilizer is broadly suitable for all major field crops, vegetables, fruits, pulses, oilseeds, and flowers experiencing or at risk of manganese deficiency, particularly in alkaline or high-pH soils.

·         Commonly used for:

AGRIVENTURE Chelated manganese micronutrient fertilizer is commonly used to correct and prevent manganese deficiencies in crops, particularly in alkaline or high-pH soils where standard manganese gets locked up and becomes unavailable to plants.

·         Mode of entry: Foliar Absorption & Root Absorption

·         Mode of action:

Ø  Prevents Soil Fixation: The chelating agent (EDTA) surrounds the manganese ion, keeping it completely soluble and available for plant absorption even in alkaline or high-pH soils where regular manganese binds with other elements and locks up.

Ø  Activates Photosynthesis: Manganese is a core requirement for the water-splitting reaction in Photosystem II, directly driving the oxygen-evolving complex needed to produce plant energy.

Ø  Powers Plant Enzymes: It acts as a chemical catalyst and cofactor for over 35 different enzymes that manage respiration, nitrogen assimilation, and carbohydrate metabolism.

Ø  Improves Reproduction: The nutrient supports healthy pollen germination and pollen tube elongation, which increases successful flower-to-fruit and grain conversion.

Ø  Strengthens Disease Defense: Adequate uptake builds tougher cell walls and activates natural defense mechanisms against root-rotting fungal pathogens.

·         Mode of application: Foliar Spray, Fertigation / Drip Irrigation, Soil Drench / Root Application

·         Dose: 1.5 - 1.7 gm per 1 liter water or 25gm in 15-liter water
